One sided firing of heavy weaponry shell hit a local woman from Panning village, Namsan Township in northern Shan State.

About noon time yesterday on November 20, heavy weaponry shells fired one sided from military camp based in Namsan hit and injured the left foot of a (85) years old elderly woman.

A responsible person from PanHnin village said, “Three shells dropped around the village, two dropped outside the village and one dropped and blasted in the middle of village. A sharpener from the shell hit the elderly person. She was injured at her leg. Now, they don’t dare to travel and she was treated at the village.”

Villager at Nanning village and Ohmswam village no longer dared to stay in the village after one sided heavy weaponry shelling by terror military council, they had to stay in tealeaf plantation farms, he continued.

“They never came to shoot like this before. This was the first time. When the shells dropped yesterday, it was when the children left the school. Only the children were left in the village, and the parents went to the forest to pick tea leaves. Some children were afraid and crying. Today, the people of the village are going to stay at the tealeaf farms because they don’t dare to live in the village.”

Local residents said that there is no military base in the village and there is no fighting, and the firing of heavy weaponry shells like this without specific target is not safe for the people and it is not convenient for them to work.

Together with this incident in Namsan Township due to aerial attacks and heavy weaponry shelling without specific target, three people were killed, (13) were injured and 27 houses were damaged within two days.

Three children living in Monekoe Township, Muse Division, northern Shan State, were playing with an unexploded heavy weaponry shell when they went to herd buffalo, and it exploded, reportedly injuring all three of them, who are currently being treated at Mang Shi Hospital on the Chinese border.

A monk who is aware of the incident and uses WeChat said: “The children were out herding buffalo, and when they saw an RPG (Rocket-propelled grenade), they started playing with it, tossing it around. When they threw it, it exploded, and all three of them were injured with serious wounds. They are currently receiving treatment at the hospital, and so far, I am not sure if their injuries have improved because there is no phone signal.”

Regarding the current fighting, he further stated that on the side of Monekoe, the local residences and many residents have been affected due to the military council forces using planes and heavy weapons to open fire. However, accurate information collection is currently not possible.

The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) announced that during the last week of October, the Terror Military Council conducted an aerial bombardment on Shing Kyait village in Nant Tong, Monekoe Township. This resulted in the immediate deaths of 5 local residents, including 3 children.
